Sin of the Week, 4/6/08

Then a bunch of girls were dancing around in their underwear. That wasn't very interesting.

Then a bunch of boys were dancing around totally naked.

Damn those girls. Oh wait. I have confused myself.

At The Pit Friday night. Couple of beers. Bibi and Sri. And me. And serendipitously, it was Naked Boys Improv night (I really don't think this was serendipitous, myself - nor was it an accident; my friends have been punishing me for being a crappy friend - more on this later). So without really knowing what to expect, I watched clever smart boys (they were all under 30, certainly) performing various skits and improv-ing quite well and then, well, gosh. They started stripping. And then one after another, they all took their pants off and I was staring at six naked men. Or was it seven? Good lord. It could have been eight, for all I know. I just know it was a whole lot of naked for a woman who hasn't been on a date in two years.

Was this display of manflesh exciting? Well, it was funny. Did it turn me on? Not even slightly.

So was it a sin?

Anyway I did smoke a whole bunch of hooka later that night and I might have had a martini and several Jack and cokes. Sin enough for one week, anyway.

My sin of the week - doing something I did not want to do, even though I knew I did not want to do it, but I did it anyway. Okay, let's be honest here, I did one thing that I didn't want to do, and one thing that I should not have done, but wanted to do. But I walked 4 miles this morning. As if that makes up for it.

Ooh, Jack and coke is my casual bar-drink too! (as opposed to fancy places where you know they can get a real cocktail right.)

Okay, my sin of the week is that after two years of flirtation, frustration, alienation and standoffishness, the Lumberjack suddenly - FINALLY - kissed me. And I let him, and I loved it. And then I went home alone like a good girl, only to text with him until 3 am to assure him that it was okay for him to do that, and I enjoyed it.

And THEN I did not tell my BF about it like I'm supposed to, because he was busy trying to sort of propose and I was busy trying to head him off and not let him, so I would not have to say no. Which was not because of the kiss, but knowledge of the kiss would have only muddied the issue at hand.

Damn I miss you Nina, still sorry I disappeared for so long, but please don't hold it against my sinful self. I'm telling you, Dark and Stormys, we need them. Brooklyn?

Who are these people?

Bibi - God bless the guy who gets Bee. I can't even think of anything obnoxious to say about her. She can eat pasta without gaining weight, she can run the ridges at Gertrude's Nose with no fear, and she is by miles the best climber of all of us. She's going to Kili with us. Hell, she'll be leading.

Jib computer wizard, entrepreneur, stand-up comedian, stand-up guy I can count on to catch a movie and hold hands in the dark without it having any meaning whatosever. Every woman needs a man like Jib.

Merry - Australian BFF spends the summers on a yacht, nannying for a celebrity couple with two children. She lives in a brownstone and she has a chauffeur. And we have no idea who she works for.

Newsy has been my friend for about 22,000 hours. Or more. I don't have a calculator. She has about 3423% more professional and personal commitments than I do, and yet she still finds time to think about me. I find this astonishing. If you knew her, you'd be astonished, too.

Pax - climber, hiker, corporate warrior, used to date Joe. Sticks by Larry in spite of his horribleness. None of us understands this.

Skatey- he rides a skateboard. He can dance. He can throw a frisbee and he's not bad at karaoke, either.

Sri - Bengali princess who, aside from kicking my ass at climbing, and aside from being a smokin' hiker, brought down the evil empire of Larry and also once told me that "even girls' are turned on my breasts." Also never turns down "one more round."

Supajewie - Long distance drinking buddy, just about the only person I know who "gets it". And no, she's not Jewish. It's a long story.

Tex - is what happens when you take a normal man, add alcohol, subtract common sense and tact, and then buy him another drink.

I teach English, and I sometimes get a emotional about grammar, punctuation, and usage. I sometimes write posts about other people's grammar - or mine. This does not mean, however, that my blog is without errors. I constantly go back and edit for typos and sometimes even... misspelled words *clutching skull and gagging*. If you find a mistake feel free to call me out on it. I will persist in making mistakes whether I attempt to catch them or not, and I will continue to be my bitchy English teacher self despite my capacity to screw up just as often as the next person... and maybe more.
